Vietnamese Pagoda Courtyard in Makassar with Hanging Incense

by Miriam Beard

Hard coastal glare slices across a shrine entrance courtyard where traditional Vietnamese pagoda architecture meets the humid air of Makassar. Thick, dark incense coils hang in vertical clusters from the wooden eaves, their ends glowing faint red against the bright sky. Raindrops streak the weathered terracotta tiles of the dry season floor, reflecting the white plaster of the shrine walls. A bonsai tree sits in a glazed ceramic pot, its gnarled branches heavy with water droplets. The light creates sharp shadows under the roof overhang, defining the texture of the aged wood. Wet moss rests on the stone base of a pillar where a small offering bowl rests. One coil sways slightly, leaving a thin trail of gray smoke that dissolves into the heavy, rain-laden air.
